Course outline

What is the course about?

Exploring ways of developing ideas, perfecting ongoing skills, learning different techniques and creating or continuing a sketchbook to record your development and ideas on your own initiative.

What topics will we cover?

This course is for those with an extensive knowledge of the techniques of jewellery and silversmithing. Because of the nature of the 'Structured jewellery year 3' course on which tutors from other disciplines will also be teaching, you should to be proficient enough to be able to work independently.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- describe and implement health and safety issues related to activity in the workshop.
- use machinery and hand tools accurately and with confidence.
- exploit the working properties of metal and use other materials to your own advantage.
- use a few of the more advanced jewellery-making techniques.
- take away a collection of jewellery of your own design and manufacture, presentable as a portfolio.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

For those with a fundamental knowledge of the techniques in jewellery and silversmithing.

You should be able to follow simple written and verbal instructions, demonstrations, hand-outs and health and safety information, and will be invited to take part in group discussion. You should be able to use numbers and be able to do simple measurements and calculations.

Please look at the rest of the course outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support in your English and Maths skills to help you to take part fully in this class.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Support and advice as requested.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

City Lit provides almost all the basic tools and equipment you will need for jewellery-making. We also provide basic materials in reasonable quantities, such as base metals (copper, gilding metal, etc.) and other materials (paper, enamel, etc.,) chemicals (pickle, borax, etc.,) and sundries (etching resist, polishing compound, etc.)

You will need to buy some items yourself, such as saw blades, all precious metals (silver, gold, etc.) and stones. You will also need a sketchbook for your design work and to write notes on exhibitions or any other relevant information.

As you gain experience you might want to invest in your own tools.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

Yes. Before you can enrol on this course, you need to have an advisory interview with the relevant department. Without this the enrolment team will be unable to process your enrolment. Please contact the department to arrange your interview, or to find out about drop-in sessions.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?

You may be interested in: education and careers advice; financial and childcare support; disability support; support for Deaf and hearing-impaired students; dyslexia support; English and maths support; counselling, and library services (supported learning centre).
